### 3.4.9 URL syntax for Gopher+ electronic forms

The gopher+_string for a URL that refers to an item referenced by a Gopher+ electronic form (an ASK block) filled out with specific values is a coded version of what the client sends to the server. The gopher+_string is of the form:

    +%091%0D%0A+-1%0D%0A<ask_item1_value>%0D%0A<ask_item2_value>%0D%0A.%0D%0A

To retrieve this item, the Gopher client sends:

           <a_gopher_selector><tab>+<tab>1<cr><lf>
           +-1<cr><lf>
           <ask_item1_value><cr><lf>
           <ask_item2_value><cr><lf>
           .<cr><lf>

to the Gopher server.
